The Passion One
Jayne Harrison is a qualified executive coach and has over 25 years’ experience in the people development field in mainly leadership and career development. She is interested in what makes people tick, why they choose the work they do and general wellbeing. She has just launched the #WellbeingWednesdays series which examines how to stay well (particularly during a pandemic) paying attention to mind, body, soul and work. She has recently qualified in vegan nutrition and in her spare time she’s usually in the kitchen, ‘veganizing’ her favourite dishes. Food is definitely a passion, as are her dogs and dancing (and sometimes all at once on a Friday listening to Radio 1).

Lorna set up little tent because she believed that there was a better way for business to work for people and to shape work for herself. Little tent offers coaching and people and change consultancy to organisations and leaders who want to make positive, impactful, change happen. She describes Little Tent as her passion project, livelihood and contribution to making work better for everyone.
When she’s not running Little Tent, she sings a bit – a passion that’s brought more to her world of work and beyond than she would ever have imagined.

The Misogyny One
This episode is The Misogyny One with our guests Dr Hannah Gore and Lori-Niles-Hoffman.
This episode was requested, recorded and edited in 3 days in early November 2020.
Misogyny is the dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women. We expected that we'd have to do this episode - we didn't realise it would be so early in the schedule. It's a topic that women in learning face at a level that many men won't know about or understand.
In this episode we hear about how Hannah and Lori experience it, how they overcome it and some guidance and help for other women.
You can find Hannah here:

Lori is also on LinkedIn and Twitter:
